Vtheieoi ex )osed at the open corners.

three edges, into the form of a bag, `which is closed except for the openings 30, left in the corners, ut one ec e, to ex ose 'the eyes in the ends of the U- rame. he frame is engaged in the bag, by entering,r one epd thereof through the openin in one corner, as indicated, und then rc atively tlu'mng,Ir the frame and bag, as shown in dotted lines, to bring the long bar of the frame to the front and finally to seat the rame Vivilhin the bag, with only the eyes at the ends The spacing tu e may then be inserted and engaged Vbetween the ends of the frame, after which the spindles of the brackets may be inserted in the sockets thus provided therefor, as shown in Fig. 3.

To holdv the awning frame in laterally adjusted position on vthe supportin brackets, I may use spacinjdevices, suc as the collars 31, shown in ig. 3, as adjustably secured on the bracket spindles by set screws 32, at the ends of the frame and forming stops limiting sidewise movement ofthe frame. l In applying the invention to the windshield, it is simply necessary to loosenthe clump screws for the upper windshield enel suillciently to enable the supporting lirackets being engaged beneath the same. The braekets'are then Vturned ou their ce nters of support, either upwardly or downwardly, to bring the upper edge of the awning to the desired level. Usually this upper ed e will be brought up into envagement wit the overha, 'ng portion o? the to as indicated in tie full lines in Fig.A 2, lint the brackets may be swung about their pivots to luce4 thevewning at different heights, as inc'cated by the dotted lines. This capability of adjustment, to ther with the angular adjustment afforded y the supporting struts, enables the shade to be placed at any timewhere it will afford the best protection. This makes it possible to avoid the glare usually ex ienred when drivinfr toward the sun an also makes 1t possibe to eliminate muy of the windshield reflections, so objectionable in night driving. The shade aiforded from the heat of the sun is also a great .advantage and the invention will be seen to Apossess many other advantages, not necessary hereto mention. Y While l have illustrated herein only one oi the practical embodiments ,ci the invention, I. it understood that the invention may be embodied' in other` .forms wltliout departing from the true spirit 'and scope of the invention as will be oliesr iron'i the scope of the sjlipended claims.

What claim is:
